Chapter 151: The Cave
The night was hazy, and the two sneaked all the way to the vicinity of the wooden building, Xiao Tianchi turned into a black afterimage and entered the exploration first, while Lin Dong waited outside.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Xiao Tianchi returned.
"There are two floors in the wooden building, the first floor is inhabited by guards, the second floor is full of miscellaneous servants, and two of them are in charge of keeping vigil in the courtyard, I have estimated, a total of about thirty." Xiao Tianchi said with a happy face.
Lin Dong was also happy in his heart, no matter where he was, the identity of the guard was higher than that of the miscellaneous servant. In the Great Han Kingdom, people with high status live upstairs. This wooden building does the opposite, ordinary people may not think much about it, but in the eyes of those who care, it is definitely weird.
"Sect Master Xiao, with my speed, can I quietly avoid the two night vigils?" Lin Dong asked.
"Both of them are napping, as long as they don't make too much noise, it's okay to swagger in." Xiao Tianchi said with a smile.
"Alright, let's go inside."
Xiao Tianchi took the lead, Lin Dong followed, and after Xiao Tianchi turned over and entered the courtyard and made sure that there was nothing abnormal, Lin Dong then jumped in.
In the courtyard, two guards nestled in the corner, their hands on their chests, and their backs against the wall were napping. The appearance of the two did not cause them to be alarmed.
Quickly flashed into the unclosed lobby, the two of them from left to right, avoiding the sleeping guards, probed one room after another, inserted the spirit sword into the crack of the door, and quietly removed the bolt of the third door in his left hand, Xiao Tianchi slowly pushed the door open.
This is a utility room, shovels, shovels and other farm tools are stacked on the ground, and after finding that there is still a bamboo bed in the corner, the two of them were surprised and their hearts moved slightly.
A simple utility room, stacked with ordinary farm tools, and even a vigil, unless there is some special reason, it is impossible.
Spiritual power poured into his eyes, Lin Dong looked up at the middle-aged man who was lying on his back on the bamboo bed and fell asleep, studied it carefully, and fixed his gaze on his face.
The skin is slightly white, and although there are some wrinkles on the forehead and the corners of the eyes, they are not obvious, and they don't look like elderly handymen at all. And his breathing is steady and gentle, and he is very likely to be a practitioner.
Xiao Tianchi obviously also discovered this, and after closing the door, he looked at Lin Dong and said softly: "Mengyan only weighs five people, should you stun him first, or will you talk about it later?" ”
Lin Dong whispered: "Stun him first, the possibility of the organ in this room is very high, anyway, there is only one person, there is not much waste, if you accidentally touch the organ to wake him up, things will be in trouble." ”
Xiao Tianchi nodded, took out a small porcelain vase, tapped his toes on the ground, and his thin body seemed to be moving with the wind, floating to the side of the bamboo bed.
Uncorked the bottle, a wisp of green smoke overflowed the mouth of the bottle, and at the moment when the middle-aged man inhaled, Xiao Tianchi quickly brought the mouth of the bottle under his nostrils.
After a few breaths, Xiao Tianchi put away the small porcelain vase, and then looked at the middle-aged man, his breathing was still steady and gentle, but at this moment, even if the thunder exploded in his ears, there was no possibility of waking him up.
This dream smoke has the same effect as the secular incense, but the difference is that the medicinal effect of the dream smoke is not only more violent, but also has no peculiar smell, and there will be no side effects such as headaches after waking up. If you can put 1,800 bottles in one room, after the strong person enters, he may not be able to escape smoothly after discovering the abnormality.
Xiao Tianchi began to search around, although there was also a secret passage in the utility room of Lin Ji Inn, but Lin Dong had nothing to do with the secret passage of the mechanism, and it was inevitable that it would touch the mechanism, and the sound of the mechanism opening was too loud, so he could only stand aside and wait.
Xiao Tianchi did not let go of any details, searching paragraph by inch, from left to right, when he found the bamboo bed, he squatted down, and kept groping along the legs of the bed with his hands.
Touching almost every position of the bamboo bed, Xiao Tianchi stood up, leaned over and grabbed the double edge of the bamboo bed, and with a slight force, he grabbed the bed with someone.
Lin Dong glanced at it, and below the left foot of the head of the bed, a ring-sized ring made him can't help but sigh lightly.
Looking at the ring, Xiao Tianchi let out a long breath: "It should be here!" ”
Lin Dong hurriedly stepped forward, the ring was made of copper, and the lower position seemed to be connected to the ground, and it was not left here.
Moving the bamboo bed away, Xiao Tianchi did not immediately deal with the ring, but continued to search.
After waiting for nearly an hour, Xiao Tianchi searched the entire room inch by inch, his eyes were slightly closed, and he muttered for a long time in anticipation on Lin Dong's face, and a smile appeared on his thin and dark face.
"There should be no problem with the dark passage, and the location of the furnishings in the room has been noted, so you can go down."
Lin Dong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, he couldn't bear to wait for so long, he was just worried about pulling up the metal ring, and in the boom, a tunnel appeared somewhere in the room at the same time, and dense crossbow arrows suddenly shot out from all directions.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Tianchi was also so careful that he also wrote down the placement of items in the entire room.
Xiao Tianchi strode forward, his index finger reached into the metal ring, and pulled it up slightly.
A low roar sounded from the position of the wall on the left side of the two, and a small half of the wooden wall about six or seven centimeters thick slowly opened inward, pushing aside many wooden barrels stacked on the ground.
Behind the wooden wall, a small dark chamber of about two square meters is revealed, and below the small chamber is a wooden ladder that stretches down.
Xiao Tianchi took the lead, and the two of them continued to go down the wooden ladder, and the narrow passage mouth continued to expand as they went deeper.
"It seems that this passage was originally a cave facing downward, can it be...... The Spirit Tree grows underground? Xiao Tianchi frowned slightly, in addition to absorbing the qi of the heavenly spirit, most of the spirit trees, like ordinary trees, also need sunlight. If it's underground, it's not impossible, but the chances are much smaller.
Lin Dong was the opposite, he remembered that the old man Ding had said that the surname of the blue tree was lonely, and he couldn't even tolerate another trunk, let alone other trees. If it's underground, it can explain why I didn't find a blue tree in the entire plantation before.
Xiao Tianchi walked and stopped all the way, almost every ten meters to study whether there was any mechanism, so he slowly and leisurely descended the slope all the way down for a thousand meters or so, not only did the cave expand to the extent that the diameter was not less than ten meters, but even the soil under his feet slowly changed from yellow to dark brown, and the air seemed to be filled with a faint smell of decay.
"Spirit tree, this spirit tree is really in the cave."
Suddenly, Xiao Tianchi exclaimed.
Lin Dong looked at it, and his line of sight barely increased from six or seven meters to more than ten meters, and then in front of him, it was still pitch black.
It was another twenty meters, and a dwarf tree about two meters high finally entered Lin Dong's sight, but behind the dwarf tree, there was a cave wall, which had obviously reached the end of the cave.
Further on, the smell of decay in the air faded and the faint fragrance came to the face.
"It's the Spirit Tree, it's the Spirit Tree!" Xiao Tianchi's voice trembled slightly.
Lin Dong frowned slightly, it took more than a month to collect information, and to scrutinize the Yang family's industry one by one, it was not bad as expected, this plantation is indeed the location of the blue tree. But the cave has reached the end, where is the other trunk of the blue tree?
